So, what’s your favorite Fib?

They say that anyone who claims he always tells the truth is a liar. And a survey seems to have confirmed that, with those interviewed admitting an average four fibs a day – five by men and three by women.

“Nothing’s wrong- I am fine “, is the most frequent, with 28% of respondents saying it was their favorite untruth. Next comes “ Nice to c u “ , followed by “ I haven’t got any cash on me” , “ I’ll give u a ring” , “ Sorry , I missed your call” , “ we have to meet up soon” and “ I am on my way” .

It’s lucky our nose don’t grow like Pinocchio’s when we lie. A recent survey has confirmed that we tell on average four lies a day. The rest of the top 20 are : “ I am stuck in traffic “ , “ what text?” , “ I had no signal” , “ of course I love you” , “ our server was down” , “ my alarm dint go off” ,” the cheque is in the post” , “ my battery died” , “ the train was delayed” ,” I’ll phone you back in a minute “ , “this taste delicious” and “ I am going to the gym to-night” .

Four lies a day adds up to 1,460 every year or almost 88, 000 in the average 60 years of adult life span.
Most lies are to work colleagues, followed by parents and then partners.
The survey was carried out for the drinks brand WKD , Whose spokesman said : “ fortunately most of the fibs were unearthed are only white lies and nothing too serious . “ although we have reveled the most people tell quite regularly , they are more often then not told to spare people’s feelings rather then to cause upset. “But its men who tell the most fibs, coming out with five everyday with compared with women who lie just three times. “

Two – thirds of those polled said they do not feel guilty when they tell little white lies and four out of ten reckon they are good at lying .
One in five males interviewed said he would lie to his girlfriend so he could go to the pub or watch sport.
Almost a quarter of men have told a partner that she looks good in an outfit , despite thinking the opposite , and 29 % have lied about flirting with another woman.But females are not completely innocent , with 44% admitting to having to lied about how much new cloths really cost them and 30% about how much they have had to work hard in a day.
